Flight Log - 2011-05-29 - Paul Nortness's "Big Black"
Estes Mean Machine built with a Semroc BT60 ejection baffle. I had nay yet added t' decals and just had it painted all black when me wife asked "When are you goin' t' launch Big Black?" (her bein' a big fan o' t' MTV show "Rob and Big")....so me Estes Mean Machine was hence forth dubbed "Big Black". I went t' Michael's and got some gold letterin' and put "Big Black" on t' side o' t' rocket and "Do Work" towards t' nose.

I removed t' chute from t' nose cone and added a swivel snap about mid way down t' shock cord and attached t' chute there. T' D12 lit and boosted very nicely. Avast! T' chute deployed just after apogee and worked great on t' swivel, no tangled shroud lines this time....perfect recovery.
